ABSTRACT:
A portable tool and method for simultaneously terminating a plurality of conductors in a connector positioned in a connector support which is mounted on a wiring board. The connector includes a housing defining a series of spaced wire-receiving cavities and a metallic terminal element having a wire-receiving portion disposed in each cavity with the conductors positioned in alignment with the cavities. The tool includes means for detachably mounting the tool on the connector support, a ram which reciprocates relative to the connector, an insertion assembly carried by the ram, movable cutter means carried by the ram adjacent the insertion assembly, and fixed cutter means underlying the conductors when the tool is mounted on the support. The insertion assembly includes a plurality of wire insertion fingers for moving the conductors into the cavities. The movable and fixed cutter means cooperate to sever excess portions of the conductors substantially flush with a wall of the housing as the ram extends causing the wire-insertion fingers to move the conductors into cavities where they are terminated in the wire-receiving portions of the terminal elements. Thus, a single tool can be used to terminate conductors in a plurality of connectors held at spaced locations on the wiring board.
